Army service for men here will be cut from 36 to 33 months next year. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan urged the Cabinet today to take this action and his view was unanimously accepted. All enlisted men serving as of April 1, 1974 will be released after 33 months service. Women will continue to serve two years. Army service for men had been increased from 30 to 36 months early in-1968. Dayan had said six months ago it was then impossible to cut service.
